The 2025–26 Qatar Stars League or the QSL, also called Doha Bank Stars League for sponsorship reasons, was the 52nd edition of top-level football championship in Qatar. The season began on 14 August 2025 and concluded on 17 April 2026. Al Sadd were defending champions, having won the previous season. Due to the risk of missile strikes from Iran stemming from the 2026 Iran war, the league was suspended from 1–11 March.
